Ohh gotcha. Well I'll prob put it like on a cottonball & do it that way since it's smaller then a towel. Sweet that's good to know! I'm running low on it now so I prob won't be able to use it on the wells this weekend but hopefully in the next week or so I'll be able to get more

ummm idk who quoted me from the other thread ... but yeah the black box is a gimmick ... sure it may look great for a few days or before you wash it ...
the last time i went to oreily's the guy was trying to sell me all bunches of different products when the only one i wanted was this -
when he got the black box and told me the car wash/ detailer down the street used ... and he did too ... i couldnt stop laughing in front of him
and as far as the black areas of your car ... i dont know what to use but avoid this - because it does not last at all ...

well i do like the blackbox but like everybody has said it is just a filler and it only lasts for a little while i think next time i'm gonna try to help it last a little longer by throwing some meguires gold class paste wax over it and see how that works, unless she gose to the body shop first

Hey! I picked up some of this stuff. It works pretty good and has a nice shine but it is not much different than the other stuff out there. Your better off getting rubbing compound and a pro polisher to remove any large swirls. One thing that I noticed with this wax was it left smear marks, so that can get aggravating. Also like Irulesoha said clear coat is clear and its swirl marks that are in the clear coat. it will work to hide them for a bit but it is too much money to pay for it. Also if you find a couple nice waxes out there, mix them! It works great!! Hope this helped!

Brittany,
I use Mequiar's products exclusively on all my cars. I start with their Gold Class car wash solution followed by Paint Restorer system prior to waxing with Gold Class paste wax. I've also found that in between waxings (every three months) that if I use their Ultimate Detailer spray, it keeps the paint and wax fed with the oils needed for a great shine and superior protection.
The interior, wheels and tires also get the full Mequiar's treatment and I assure you, my SS looks "showroom" new! Hope this helps...

I used the black box and it was pretty crazy looking, as it was colored wax it made my car look like I had a special paint job for about a week and a half, the sun would shine off the black and you'd see this really dark electric green color. I got plenty of looks after using it and it was pretty nice, but as others have said I wouldn't recommend it, it's good to cover imperfections for a period of time but offers no long term solution past a week.

i imagine this stuff looks killer for about a week, or until it gets rained on/ washed/ or drooled over enough to wash it off ...
but really, what convinced me other than common sense, trial and error in the past, and attempts with my own stuff ... was the sales dude at OReily's telling me that they sell the most of the black box kits to the car wash/ half assed detailer down the street
and since i know their "operation" to be nothing more than a wash rack, some cheap wax and some dudes with wet/dry vacs pretending to do interiors ... that told me the most ...
if you look close enough in this picture, you can see the haze/swirl marks left in my car from the last automatic car wash i put it through ... i hope to get them out this week when i detail it for the last time this year but i dont think ill be able to ...
EDIT - Sorry bout that, picasa wont link to High res images for some reason, or they cant be posted on the forum ... trust me to say they are there when you are within less than 2 feet ... i do like the reflection on the ground in this picture anyways
